About this course
'This course aims to provide students with practical tools and applied knowledge on how best to find and navigate a career in NYC Public Service. It is divided in three modules. The first module deals with personal development, focused on self-presentation and interviewing techniques, with specific training and evaluation sessions on r�sum� and cover-letter writing as well as job interview strategy and performance. The second aims at introducing theories and concepts of policy and power as it relates to NYC public service. The course deals with policy as a process, rather than as accomplished fact, and through the lens of policy, considers the ways in which power, institutions, and subjects and objects of the city take shape. The third focuses on establishing what career paths are available to you in NYC Public Service and how to best achieve your career goals. This includes the kind of experience you need to build, both in terms of academic study and extra-curricular activities, networking, and information-gathering skills you will need, both online and in person, to find the right job opportunities for you that best fit your talents, values and aspirations. As an applied and participatory course, classes will involve a variety of pedagogical exercises in addition to lectures by the instructors and a number of invited guests from the public service sector.
